I love how even in the past individuals experienced the same issues we do, feelings of uncertainty. Getting the sense of anxiety through the passage and the other party relieving the stress by comforting the speaker was interesting. Great analysis Dr. Kosters!
Hi Dr. Kosters! Thank you so much for your clear and swift analysis of "Dover Beach". I truly appreciate how you included the context behind the Victorian Period, it is so critical to understanding the minds of Victorian age poets like Matthew Arnold. I found it so interesting that he compared the loss of faith to a women's girdle. It being bound and secure when done, and loose and undone when not. It's a rarity in the Victorian period to see a male poet appeal to any sort of woman's plight. Thank you again!
Reading “Dover Beach” feels so different after watching this lecture. It’s easy to perceive it the way you want to at first, but after understanding the context behind it it’s very interesting to compare it to today’s world. When he describes the Victorian period as “spiritual discomfort,” it brings me to think about how many people would compare our world today as very dystopian and hopeless. It kind of makes me think about what you mentioned in the lecture, that “nothing is stable.” I feel like there’s always going to be something to feel hopeless about-an era in time that feels so tragic and painful. But it’s important to remember the things that make life easier to deal with-beautiful things like loved ones, just as the speaker in “Dover Beach” does.
